    Ok, so i exchanged my new MX7515 a few days ago because it had a defected LCD screen. When i got my new one i discovered that it had the 5400rpm harddrive, which was a great surprize!
    But the problem with this new laptop is that the fan comes on a lot more then the old one. Could it be because the 5400rpm harddrive is using more power and making the laptop hotter?
    I checked my setting and they are on Laptop/Notebook mode. I also installed the latest drivers from AMD. Do you guys have any advice?

    My guess would be the HD as well.
    Also, I recall a thread about someone's CPU running 100% at all times. Open the task manager and watch for that.
    Good luck!
